Lot 761
Collection of Minerals: Standout is a Carved Labradorite Head. Also Included are Amethyst Crystal Clusters and a Labradorite Slice. Labradorite was first identified in Labrador, Canada and later found in Poland, Norway and Finland. While not rare, its appeal is the iridescent optical effects in the mineral. The term "labradorescence" was coined to explain this particular phenomenon. In this collection is a beautifully carved head where the iridescence is found throughout and it is mesmerizing. Also included is a heavily polished slice that also exhibits the same peculiar reflection. Head is 5½ x 5 x 6" and in excellent condition. The slice measures 9 x 7 x 4"
Finally 3 clusters of amethyst quartz each approximately 6 x 5". Estimated Value $600 - 1,000
From the Personal Collection of Michael James Jackson.
